User motivation

Karma - “One of the mechanical laws of Habrahabr. According to the plan, it is designed to support the desire for growth on the site. Everything else is only a consequence of this definition. ”As it is written in the help section of Habr, however, there we learn that for complete freedom of action on the site it is enough to have karma ≥10, its further growth does not give any privileges.

Motivation for the further growth of karma is dulled, it can only be due to the user being “drawn” into the “system” while recruiting those same 10 units by inertia, or simply permanent desire to fight for the opportunity to be first in everything. Of course, the majority (?) Of us write comments or publish topics not for the sake of increasing points in the profile, on the one hand this is certainly good, on the other hand, users no longer care about the level of karma, post materials not related to IT, fill up with copy-paste resource. So, why not inject Habra adrenaline?
It is known that Habr was developed by a company that has created quite a few charming things, among which there are patterns of small paper creatures and he is the most charismatic and mysterious project of the Runet - Sovereign Leprozori, a closed collective blog, without the possibility of registration. It is known that the majority of attempts to solicit an invite or lead to minus, or simply cynically ridiculed. However, these attempts continue. So, how can we combine two, in general, quite good things - raising the level of karma's significance (and, as a result, desire is divided by unique author's content), through motivation, and the process of “making people happy”, through the implementation of the desired?
That's right - the gift of a ticket to the hospital for every +50 karma, for example. Implement these things in principle is easy, if desired, i.e. from a certain time, simply accept the karma values ​​of each user as a conditional zero and start counting. What will it look like in practice? For example, on Monday the countdown starts - the one who had a karma of -5 will receive an invite at +45, who has +150 - at +200. Or, for example, to give an invite once at the intersection of the value of the karma of the line of +50 units, however, this can cause the appearance of dead souls and the creation of profiles anew to get a new invite. But only if the registration is opened on Habré again, now it is closed, and problems should not arise.

I wrote a lot, but I hope not too sad and quite understandable. Well, please express your opinions, it would be interesting to hear the creators of the (site). And please, do not be silly comments in the style of responses to begging for invites - I don’t ask anyone for anything, I just offer an idea and bring it to the public. Thanks for attention.
